I'm having problem with my Remote Desktop session to Exchange Server as myself always gets logged off everynight ?
I need to scheduled Exchange Management Console to run after the office hours but it always failed since my RDP session gets logged off overnight, is there any way to configure it to stay logged on (Windows Server 2008) please ?
Thanks.
We have the situation where it's preferred that we log sessions off instead of just disconnecting. I'm currently in an app group and we own our servers above the OS level (that is, we install / admin / patch app level things such as SQL Server), however IT owns the os and hardware responsibilities. They prefer (as did I when I was in the IT group) that we log out instead of disconnecting so they don't have to get into the business of figuring out if we have something running interactively in the event they need to bounce a server.
Other than that, I've never run into a situation where keeping things connected was an issue. I pretty much leave my sessions logged in on my home machines all the time. Sometimes it's required if you're gathering metrics or something where an interactive interface is required.

In the user-properties, (Local Users and Groups > User > Right click > Properties) there should be a tab 'sessions'. You should be able to disable the automatic logoff behavior there.
If you want this for all users, edit gpedit.msc. You can set the period to a max of 2 days in Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Terminal Services - > Session
